does pkzip return an errorlevel?

[carlo]

Is there a way to test for successful creation of a zip file with pkzip?
Does it generate an errorlevel?

Thanks for your knowledge.

Yes, it will do. The ouput-message "PKZIP: (E12) nothing to do!"
shows you the errorlevel, 12 (twelve).

Of corse, there are more of them. If no message is given,
there is no error, and the errorlevel is 0 (zero).

Greetings, Jawade.
